Low libido ( not ED )

Low libido ( not ED )

Hi,

I am a 42 year old male in good health, bmi 21, in top 5pct of age matched cardio fitness. No notable illnesses.

I had a blood test which indicated low-normal testosterone. After a few months of androgel my range came into normal-high. However, libido is still poor.

Prior to this was on fluoxetine 20mg for 6 months. Disaster for my libido. Libido has never recovered to levels prior to fluoxetine. All it did was make me agitated with lots of twitching and spasms, night sweats, confusion and severe short term memory issues - with even poorer libido and delayed ejaculation.

Even OTC tryptophan or 5-htp has a bad effect on me.  

Thyroid normal tsh = 1.6.

Any ideas?
